You got one panel at the left side of the screen with the Unity Launcher. And you got another panel on the upper side of the screen. The same panel which integrates in the a window (i.e. Firefox) when they are maximized. If you hover over it you got the options File, Edit, View, ... Do this without any window is opened you will got the options for the Desktop.
